Hello! Iām currently in the middle of getting my masters in elementary education. I am almost 50 and I was a stay-at-home mom until two years ago when I got a job as a one-on-one para for a little kiddo with CP. I have experience with kids, I have five of my own, but they never got into trouble at school. I had teachers constantly thanking me for how my kids behaved at school and I just brushed it aside with a thanks. Now I see why they thanked me! Iāve worked in kindergarten and now first grade, so my eyes are open to how children behave these days and still decided I wanted to teach - so I guess as long-winded as this was (sorry), I do have an idea of what Iām getting myself into.š¬ Iām looking for advice on how to talk to parents about their childās behavior or having difficult conversations about grades, etc. Any phrases you stick with or???? Honestly, this is my biggest worry, dealing with parents that take no responsibility or ones that helicopter everything. Also, any tried and t
I really donāt know why Iām letting this brat get to me, especially since itās summer and I know this kid isnāt going to be in my class next year. I had a student last year who refused to participate because they were not willing to search for a material they needed to do my class. I didnāt really have the time to search for material for them (and itās not supposed to be my job anyway), so the kid just sat there. By the end of the class, I was telling the kid they were lazy since they also decided to disrupt my class a smidge, only for that kid after class was done to try and tell it to their homeroom teacher, in an effort to get me in troubleā¦. The next class I had with them a week later, they were trying to use it against me to be disruptive and display their attitude. It was one of the last classes of the year and I just had to drown it out to teach... The kids these days are anything other than alrightā¦l submitted by /u/InevitableNo3097 [link] [comments]

I was assigned as a substitute history teacher to a middle-school class that was deemed "troublesome". Yes, there are pupils that struggle to be in class. Yes, some struggle to fit in. And yes, some need more help than others. But they had been deemed a lost cause by some, and one teacher even refused to teach them. They felt this of course, and brought it up regularly. Yet, frankly, I loved having them. In (my country) 9th grade, we focus on democracy, and the big world wars, topics I'm deeply interested in. And they seemed to agree, and were active, questioning, and engaged in EVERY class I had. Yes, there was some noise, some who did not care, and some topics that did not resonate, but I simply COULD NOT SEE the troubled class the rest of my colleagues saw. We had fun, I got to be creative with my teaching, and they did SO great. But, I was a substitute because their teacher was sick and they recovered, and I returned to my normal duties (arts and crafts and Shop class). Yet, I met
There is a private school, low pay, about a 2 minute drive from my house. Iām a newly single mama to a kindergartener & a 15 month old. I sure wish I wouldāve gone to the kindergarten job interview at this school as Iām almost sure I wouldāve gotten it. The principal keeps reaching out, weāre friends on facebook, and she keeps telling me about the jobs she has at her school. She now only has a 5-8 grade for Social Studies and ELA or a Full time Prek aide. I have only subbed for half the school year for 2nd grade in the district I student taught. They donāt have any openings this school year, I applied too late. The competition for my first year teaching job is unreal. I donāt want middle school, I am licensed K-6. I want an elementary k-5 classroom (which Iāve never had). However, Iām wondering if, even just for a year I should go for this middle school 5-8 grade teaching job? I know itās still just July. More jobs around can come available. Or should I sub again at my preferred distri
When I went to school, I got lice and they basically told me to gtfo until I either shaved my head or got rid of them (which I completely understand!).

Theyāre allowed to stay because āthereās nothing we can do for it.ā parents are literally sending their kids to water park field trips with chicken pox and school nurses are putting bandaids over ring worm. is this just my area?? submitted by /u/presplate [link] [comments]

Hello!

I got the job, which means Iām her ābossā and Iām feeling really anxious of how our relationship will be. Sheās told me not to change ANYTHING which unfortunately will happen and I have reassured her Iām working with her. Things seem strange between us but I think thatās just my anxiety of the situation.

A few days ago I posted about an incident that happened on the second-to-last day of my final student teaching placement, and I honestly thought my teaching career was over before it had even begun. For anyone who didnāt see the original post, I accidentally collided with a childās ankle while playing soccer with the kids during recess. From my perspective, I barely touched him, which is why I was so shocked when he said his ankle hurt. Afterwards, I also saw him hopping around on the same ankle, so I initially thought it was only a minor injury. The childās parents came into the school, yelled at the principal and staff. They were mad - very mad . After hearing that, I genuinely thought, āWell, Iām completely fucked.ā To make things harder, Iād also had a really difficult placement. Throughout the placement I was verbally abused by some of the kids, including racist comments directed towards me. When I brought those incidents up, I was basically told I just needed to move on. Then, on
First things first, I work with students who have special educational needs. I have a student who is selectively mute. Let's call her Sarah.. It took Sarah over 6 months to talk to her female classmates. She doesn't talk to any of the boys and none of the adults at school. It was really hard to navigate how to deal with this. So each time I had questions for her, I just wrote them down. She alsno nodded yes or no. That's her main way of communicating. Yesterday however, another girl and Sarah walked up to me, and the other girl mentioned that Sarah really wanted to talk to me. So she tried, like 5 times and her lips were sealed, glued shut. I told Sarah there's no pressure and she could try any other time. Then all of a sudden, when there was no one else around she talked and said: "you're my favourite teacher". And after that she talked some more. Only started work 2 months ago, came back from maternity leave and was sick prior to that, so I've only known the students for two months.
Former student looking for input here: I graduated high school in 2014. My senior year I had a teacher who I was very close to and who made a big impact on me. For the first few years after I graduated we stayed in touch pretty regularly through email and meeting up a few times a year. For the past several years though we've drifted out of contact, largely just due to things like the pandemic, my family moving away from that area, etc. I found out a couple weeks ago via Facebook that her husband recently passed away after a 3 year battle with cancer. (We're not connected on FB but I saw the obituary shared publicly). I am planning to send her a card because I want to say how sorry I am and to let her know I'm thinking of her during this hard time. (I reached out to a family friend who knows her slightly to ask for her address - I have one from a letter she sent me but that was a long time ago so I don't know if it's still current). What I'm conflicted on though is how much (if any) upd

Context: Iām taking over a coaching role from last semesters coach that was fired for hazing students and is currently under investigation by TEA/CPS. Scheduled a contract signing 2 weeks ago, something came up and I couldnāt make it and had to reschedule; no problem. Rescheduled it for next week. Got a call from HR at the end of the work day a few days ago saying that they have to rescind the offer they made for me because they said Iām currently under investigation by CPS. I have a feeling that if I really was under investigation, I would have been legally informed by my school, TEA, or CPS right? I wouldnāt find out first from my new schools HR department and them tell me āwe donāt know anything youāll have to contact CPS.ā I contacted CPS and they told me there was no case open for me. Thereās no investigation notification on my teaching certificate. (There is on the old coaches certificate) Iām curious if anyone has ever run into a major technological mistake hurdle like this befo
First year as teacher of record (Middle School SDC) This fall will be my first year as the teacher of record in a middle school Special Day Class (grades 6-8), although I spent last year working in this same classroom as a long-term substitute. So I know the students, the school, and the routines fairly well, but this year the responsibility is officially mine. Iām spending the summer finishing prerequisite classes, reorganizing the SDC room, reading IEPs, planning schedules, creating classroom procedures, and trying to build systems that will make the year run smoothly. My question is: Looking back, what is something you wish you had set up before Day 1 that made a huge difference later in the year? It could be: * classroom organization * routines * behavior systems * paperwork * parent communication * working with paraprofessionals * technology * things that saved you hours later * or mistakes you wish youād avoided.

I have subbed and taught on contract, I know how hard teaching is and I know is not anyone who can do this job. If I hear someone has been in the field for more than 10 years, I get the image of someone who excelled in managing tons of student or parents behaviours, into rendering coursework engaging and interesting for most students despite the numerous youths with special needs in a classroom, in bringing original and exciting activities each year despite all the extra work hours they have to do at home or on weekends. And add kids to these teachers, achieving all these while having kids is just an extraordinary feat. Therefore, if experienced teachers have achieved all of these during their illustrious career, why do I see so many posts of teachers claiming they failed? Not being recognized doesn't mean you have not achieved success. I bet 80% of those making six figures with lots of recognitions in corporate would "fail" even worse as a teacher, despite working hard, while most tea

Hello!!

I've also been an online tutor for 5 years, so I'm wondering what kinds of jobs and experiences I should be looking into to beef up my resume more.

Hi, everyone! I (21F) am currently getting a Portuguese language/literature teaching degree. My university has a program that gives college preparatory classes for low-income people, and the teachers in this program are teaching majors, so all college kids. I've been teaching essay writing in this program since my second semester (I'm currently going into my fourth, so it's been a year) and it's giving me a lot of experience. The thing is, since these are college preparatory classes intended to teach the students so they can take the tests required in my country to get into university, most of my students are in my age range; some of them are older than me, even! Last year and this year I've been good at acting friendly. I know we're around the same age, we like similar things, and sometimes when I want to give a slide presentation, they see the games on my laptop and want to talk about video games or books they're reading with me. To a certain extent, I think this is all fine. But I t

I have a teacher friend who is so damn negative. At one point, we were very, very close. I supported him in many ways. Everytime we talk, it's so negative. If I say something positive, he tries to make it about himself, then turns it negative. For example: Me: Wow the weather is great today! Him: eh. It doesn't really matter to me. I have to do xyz when I get home. I'm dreading it. That reminds me I also have to do ABC and I'm dreading it. He also has a very depressing tone when saying these things. Another example: Me: I had a great weekend! I was able to do XYZ. Him: My weekend was horrible. I'm always by myself and always alone. Then I have to do XYZ. Me: Aw. Well I hope you're able to find sometime to relax. Him: Relax? All I do is be by myself. I have to take care of xyz, abc, 123. These are just examples of a typical in person conversation. One day, he asked me something and I was sharing good news about myself. News that I've been waiting to hear about. He STILL made it about hi
I saw it the last 2 years in NJ public schools - hiring long term subs (60 credit associate degree) instead of hiring teachers (CE/CEAS) under the guise the school couldn't find qualified teachers. The schools were hiring unqualified substitute teachers for long term assignments via a temp agency (like ESS) while qualified teachers applicants were passed up. One school did this for their art department - 5 jobs. One unqualified LTS got 3 months of work in one classroom - until the teachers' union found out about it and had her removed after 20 days. Another sub I worked with didn't even have proper credentials to work in the US - not even a green card It's only going to get worse. submitted by /u/Fuzzy_Body_2461 [link] [comments]

Nothing is showing up on my District's job forum anymore, let alone a good Special Ed job.

Everyone gets a radio and everyone comes running to save the day. In reality, it's the same three or four young macho coach cowboys and admin running to do....what? No one has had any training in de-escalation or self-defense, the female teachers see a fight and they run to get a male, it's all just reacting and not very good reacting at that.

I have had female teachers for years say why didn't you go into that fight and break it up? Well, why didn't you, I reply. You've had the same amount of training (zero) over the years that I've had! Breaking up altercations is NOT part of any teacher's job description, yet that social expectation
So, my district just announced that next year students can't bring Stanleys or other metal tumblers to school. They've been used in fights and to smuggle weapons, vapes, and alcohol into schools, they are loud when they get dropped and kids steal them from each other. Parents are absolutely livid. Kids can bring clear plastic water bottles only. All our schools have water fountains and water bottle refill stations. I sort of get the microplastics angle, but most students seem to subsist mostly on a combination of takis, Celsius/Monster, fast food, and Starbucks, so I'm a little incredulous. Parents appear madder about this than the actual deaths of students to violence over the last couple years. Is this just basic selfishness? Do the parents only care now because it affects their kid? For what it's worth, the kids don't seem to care. Anyways, just curious if anyone else had experienced anything like this in their proverbial neck of the woods?

I work in probably the best elementary school in my district, which isn't saying much, because my district is a mess. Behaviors are a mess, classroom teachers are laden with insane standards despite it, and there is often little support and more pressure from admin. As the music teacher, I feel like I have a lot more freedom in how I do things, but still little support. (Our beginning band is heterogeneous, and we meet once a week, and I haven't been given other options for rehearsals, despite offering my own ideas and being willing to take time out of my plan period.) I still get lots of freedom in how I structure my lessons, what I teach, and how I teach it. I don't mind preparing for required performances; I have the mindset that I will work with whatever I am given, and I am grateful for what I have (it's more than what I had compared to my last school). I know my situation isn't the same as everyone else's, and I don't expect everyone to feel the way I do. You can imagine that the

Hi. I am a teacher who is heavily sleep deprived after a stressful end-of-semester. Tuesday was our last day of school. We had a End-Of-Year wrap up party at the local pub and our Principal also seemed TIRED and kept just saying "I am really excited this year is done and that we can all put this crappy year behind us." Wednesday, I had a crap-ton of chores to do and errands to run, and was house sitting so had to go check on my mother-in-laws house and fix some things for her. Even on our days off, we are still adults with complex and busy lives. Finally had my first day "off" today and somehow slept in until 11am. I definitely needed that! But my eyes were so extremely puffy! My under eye bags have looked super puffy for weeks as I've been tired and stressed and just drainedddd. But they looked even worse this morning after finally getting a good night's sleep (probably over-slept a bit, but I finally feel alive again today!)
